United Way of McPherson County is working to build a stronger community by addressing issues related to health, education and income. We believe conversations and intensive listening are the best ways to understand the real problems and move beyond short-term solutions. Community change can be accomplished through broad participation and collaboration. We encourage McPherson County residents to be involved with their community through giving, advocating and volunteering. By working together we can make a larger impact on the issues at hand.

It's that time of the year when everyone is getting excited about the Super Bowl. The workplace is full of questions. Who are you going to cheer for? What television ad will impress us this year? Will the halftime show be worthy? And what will you eat during the day-long festivities?
When I realized this year's game was in New Orleans, my mouth began to water. A trip to New Orleans means a journey to some of the best restaurants in the world. The spices, the seafood, the outdoor dining, the hospitality. It becomes a magical place when combined with the solid sounds of jazz.
Did you know New Orleans is home to Southern Comfort? While I'm not a whiskey drinker, I've learned to use this smooth beverage in my cooking. Yesterday I discovered the following recipe online at cooking.com. What better treat to use at tomorrow's Super Bowl game! It's sweet and easy and will provide a new twist to the annual snack extravaganza.
